Leyla Beckerman, M.Sc.
Summary
I am a PhD student in the Langhammer group and my thesis project concerns the recently developed nanofluidic scattering microscopy (NSM) technique, which allows for the determination of the size and mass of individual biological nanoparticles and biomolecules, without the need for labels or affinity chemistry. My project aims to further advance and customize the NSM technique to facilitate single-cell experiments and conduct analyses of secreted biological nanoparticles, particularly exosomes. The project is embedded within a larger collaborative research effort aimed at addressing the intricate challenges posed by the heterogeneity of exosomes in the realm of biology. With a background in Materials Chemistry, I am very excited by the interdisciplinary aspects, opportunities, and challenges posed by the project and the ways in which I can contribute!
